NAMED GAP · settler named · Run B #232

No dance band of the 1920s — or of any other year — is named in any fragment of this build or any record this section reached: the audit's form is Mishawaka's dance orchestras of 1924, named band by band — Leonard, Murray, and the Harmony Four in the test's shorthand — the working orchestras that played the halls of a city with halls. Township dancers of the 1920s played, on the geography of the record, in Mishawaka's and South Bend's rooms — that is an inference from the hall record, printed as inference, not as a dated fact about any township resident. The bands that did play this town's weddings, school gyms, and church halls, if the town's paper named them, are named in the two records that carry the town's social week: the item closes NAMED GAP, settler: J. Harold Kiracofe, History of Osceola (1988), with the Enterprise and Tribune files behind it, per the audit's settling sources. The Leonard-Murray-Harmony Four roster belongs to Mishawaka's leg and is not borrowed.

Settler named: Kiracofe, History of Osceola (1988); the Enterprise and Tribune files — per the audit.
